How do I import my own class to make answers - java help on CodeGym

I want to import my class from a parent package directory com.codegym.task.MyScanner and use my own methods askInt() and askDbl() inside the IntelliJ IDE. The Verify button will not find MyScanner when I try to import it with import codegym.task.MyScanner; inside the Solution.java class. What can I do? And yes, I reserve the right to be lazy instead of cargo-copying the block of code needed to take input...

package com.codegym.task.task04.task0418;
//...
import com.codegym.task.MyScanner;

public class Solution {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //write your code here
        MyScanner scanner = new MyScanner();
        int a = scanner.askInt();
        int b = scanner.askInt();
        // ...

Workaround or Kludge Info: If I right-click and copy the MyScanner class file directly into the taskXXXX\ package, the Verify button will then work. But can't I just make the class visible to the Solution class with an import statement? Is there a way to configure the Verify function to include an extra classpath?

import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.InputStreamReader; public class MyScanner { InputStream var1 = System.in; InputStreamReader var2 = new InputStreamReader(var1); BufferedReader var3 = new BufferedReader(var2); public static void MyScanner() { } public int askInt() throws Exception { String var4 = var3.readLine(); return Integer.parseInt(var4); } public double askDbl() throws Exception { String var4 = var3.readLine(); return Double.parseDouble(var4); } public String askStr() throws Exception { String inpstr = var3.readLine(); return inpstr; } }

What does your custom class do that nextInt()/nextDouble() does not? If it does something along the lines of outputting a message: "Please enter an integer" that will automatically fail 99% of the tasks.

Here's the full class. It's just quicker to instantiate rather than typing those extra lines every time (ie BufferedReader...InputStream...InputStreader...)
